4. CATEGORIES OF SIMULATION LIVE SIMULATION “ Real people, in a real environment, operating real objects but with simulated effects” VIRTUAL SIMULATION “ Real people, operating simulated equipments, in a simulated environment, generating simulated effects” CONSTRUCTIVE SIMULATION “ Real people controlling simulated units, platforms or systems, with simulated equipments, in simulated environments, generating simulated interactions & effects”
5. “ Simulation offers a unique advantage over traditional live training in the efficiency of resource use and its ability to replicate training events and systematically record data for After Action Review (AAR)” “ Simulation enables us to train in ways that are not possible by traditional methods whether for health & safety, geography, manpower constraints, political sensitivity or increasing weapon and sensor capabilities” Extract from “Strategy for Simulation in British MoD Land Collective Training”
6. A COMPLETE LIVE TRAINING CONCEPT Gunnery and Skills Training Tactical Training Live Fire Training Support
7. INSTRUMENTED TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM - a live training system that supports the tracking of dismounted troops and vehicles in open terrain or Military Operations in Urban Terrain by “Instrumenting” the exercise players with a GPS and RF based (UHF) tracking system Both man-worn and vehicle instrumentation feed a centralised Command & Control Consol supporting During & After Action Reviews
8. INSTRUMENTATION CONCEPT EXCON Command & Control View Radio Base Station 2 way radio communication Instrumented Players
10. Portable Base Stations (PBS) can be linked to increase the instrumentation footprint Typical PBS propagation radius 8Km Perfect conditions > 20Km 5.4 - 5.7 GHz license free band micro-wave link RADIO SYSTEM COVERAGE
